Solved in 10.1 Berlin https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-12451 Well, solved is a strong word for a simple Works as expected and a comment "Cancellation is a special case" I am very impressed of this solution* Maybe we will see an updated documentation at http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Berlin/en/System.Threading.TTask.WaitForAll Warning If you are going to cancel a task please think twice, because it is a special case and we did not respect this for "TTask.WaitForAll". Maybe we will rename this in "TTask.WaitForAllNotCanceled". When you want to cancel why do you want to start the task? OMG * = ironic flag https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-12451

As I understand it the [weak] attribute (new for win32 in 10.1 Berlin) ensures there is no ref counting on interface variables AND that the variable is cleared (set to nil) when the object implemeting the interfaces is destroyed. However, does anyone know if this "clearing" is thread safe? I.e. if the object implementing the interface, the weak variable is pointing to is destroyed, is clearing the week variable an "atomic" operation?

I know my fellow senior Delphi guy Nick Hodges will agree with me that a world with fewer WITH statements is a better world. Also a world with more IDE experts that you built for yourself to automate painful or error-prone processes that you encounter in your daily Delphi coding work might be a better world for you, too. Here's some sample starter code for writing an IDE wizard, including two hello world minimal skeletons and one wizard that uses the castalia parser to check if you lined up your BEGIN and END statments and if there are any WITH statements in your code. http://www.tdug.com/2016/04/april-meeting-follow-up-2/ http://www.tdug.com/2016/04/april-meeting-follow-up-2

First, I already put in .obj file (a rocket) to my 3d form and i can move it with my scroll bar there, then I want to move a servo with my scroll bar too. So when I move the scroll bar, the rocket and the servo will move (please look at the picture). But the problem i don't know several step to connect my scroll bar to arduino and send it the data too (the moving scroll bar). - My first question is where i need to place the comport? in vcl form/ 3d form? in my project i still place it in vcl form. -the second is, how to write the code in comport to connect and send the data to arduino. If the delphi receive a data from arduino I still can do this, but now the delphi need to send the data to arduino, so the servo will be moved. -I am just a newbie in delphi, so I am sorry to ask many things here. I need to finish this project, so I need everyone help. Thanks.

Hello guys, Introducing UWP application support ( https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-13295 ) would be a great opportunity to introduce ARC on Windows :D, once an entire new compiler would rise to add this support. A negative point is that UWP support requires a Visual Studio installation, but the Community edition should be enough to get things done :D

I was wondering if the TBufferedFileStream (see https://delphiaball.co.uk/2016/04/29/faster-filestream-tbufferedfilestream/ ) would not have been implemented better by using the decorator pattern (see https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl/blob/master/jcl/source/common/JclStreams.pas#L207 ) instead of hardcoding it on TFileStream. Any opinions?

Hello Delphi Developers! I'M HIRING!  Is anyone open to having a conversation today? My client is located in the metro Detroit area (relocation is paid for if you are out of state) and they are seeking a Sr. Technical Engineer professional. They specifically need this person to be familiar with Delphi and is open to learning new technologies! They are currently migrating Delphi to a .NET framework. (1-3 years of  Delphi experience.) Please let me know if this is something you would be open to discussing or have someone in mind that would be interested.

Four weeks of testing with the client, and on the first day in production we hit two not-so-nice edge cases neither of us thought of. The older I get, the more I appreciate combinatorics...

Parnassus Bookmarks and Navigator are now available for Berlin! Berlin has been out for over a week now, so I apologise for the delay. Navigator includes a number of bugfixes and tweaks too. So, not only is it here, it's even better! Bookmarks is unchanged since the last update a few weeks ago. Berlin includes its own implementation of 'stack bookmarks', based on Castalia's. Bookmarks has had this for a long time too with the name 'caret bookmark', and I think is simpler to use: a nicer set of shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+B to set, and Escape to go to the last one, vs CTRL+K & CTRL+G and CTRL+Q & CTRL+G in the IDE's version. It has a docked list showing the location of each, too.) https://parnassus.co/navigator-bookmarks-now-available-berlin/ https://parnassus.co/navigator-bookmarks-now-available-berlin

Has anyone else seen this error when using Evaluate/Modify in Berlin with a procedure taking a string parameter? "E2158 System unit out of date or corrupted: missing 'String'". I'm calling BMP.SaveToFile('c:\foo\a.bmp') where BMP is a Vcl.Graphics.TBitmap. That should work.

Fixing loopholes in DisposeOf Anyone working with Delphi mobile (ARC) compilers knows that DisposeOf is fact of life and cannot be avoided.  According to official roadmap "Linux compilers will be for Intel 64-bit server, LLVM-based and ARC-enabled" So now seems like perfect time to address some existing loopholes in DisposeOf. Since it cannot be avoided, let's make it less error prone. DisposeOf does not decrease reference count on calling reference https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-14681 DisposeOf should clean up instance inner managed types references https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-14682 First issue: ARC way of saying you are done with object instance is nilling it. If you have code that should work under both compiler flavors you would call Free on it. On ARC compiler that translates to nilling the calling object reference. If there are no other strong references to that object it will undergo complete destruction process from calling destructor to...

I keep butting my head into the lack of an enumeration generics constraint. I can't make generic arrays or set types from an enumeration, nor do operations on a variable of that type. (Disclaimer: The code is for illustration only and may be incorrect or illogical) TTaskFactory = class type TTaskClassArray: Array [T] of TTaskClass; // TTaskSet: Set of T; // private class var FFactory: TTaskClassArray; protected FAllowedTasks: TTaskSet; public class procedure RegisterTask(const Id: T; aTaskClass:TTaskClass); function MakeTask(const Id:T):TTask; property AllowedTasks read FAllowedTasks write FAllowdTasks; end; class procedure TTaskFactory .RegisterTask(const Id: T; aTaskClass:TTaskClass); begin Log('Registered Task Id '+IntToStr(Ord(ID))); // FFactory[Id] := aTaskClass; // end; function TTaskFactory .MakeTask(const Id:T):TTask; begin if Id in AllowedTasks // then begin if Assigned(FFactory[Id]) // then Result := FFactory[Id].Create // ...

Anyone use MongoDB yet with Delphi and understand how to insert JSON data to the db? I don't see anything in the examples but maybe I have missed it. Here is how I am doing my Inserts: begin   oDoc := FEnv.NewDoc;   try     // Build new document     oDoc       .Add('Field1', 'test data 1')       .Add('Field2', 'test data 2')       .Add('Field3', 'test data 3')       .Add('Field4', 'test data 4');     // Insert new document into "testCollection" collection in "testDB" database.     FCon['testDB']['testCollection'].Insert(oDoc);   finally     oDoc.Free;   end; How does JSON fit into this? Thanks!

Hey guys, I would love to see a built-in dark theme for RAD Studio, I mean a theme that can be applied on the whole IDE. These days I have used a 32" monitor and the bright colors of the IDE hurt my eyes when programming at night. Something like the dark themes in the Xamarin Studio and IntelliJ IDEA. You can vote for it https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-14704 :D

[RESOLVED] Hello all, Is there any way to prevent the click on button of an TDBLookupComboBox to instead call a form that I want and prevent the dropdown list to open too?

After installing Delphi 10.1 Berlin I'm having problems with GetIt in Delphi 10 Seattle. After installing Berlin I added Lockbox, VirtualTreeview and SynEdit using GetIt. The installations went fine but when I restarted Seattle I got several errors when the packages above were loaded. I believe that Berlin is installing packages with the Seattle prefix. I uninstalled the packages from Berlin and tried to uninstall/re-install then in Seattle. Everything failed wth a class factory error. I tried manually removing the packages and registry entries, but still got the error. I now get the error no matter which package I try to install. Any ideas Marco Cantù?

Just ran into this issue in XE: To reproduce: 1) Pick a random file somewhere in a large project. 2) Add, at an appropriate point, the directive {$R NONEXISTENT.RES} 3) Build 4) Compiler reports [DCC Error] E1026 File not found: 'NONEXISTENT.RES' 5) Good luck tracking down where, because it doesn't link back to a source location. Expected behavior: For any compile error caused by incorrect source code, it is expected that the compiler will report the location of the error in the source code. Does anyone know if it's been fixed in a later version?

Bit of a rant sorry, but am getting a bit fed up with TDictionary . Why is it there is a TryGetValue() function but no TryGetKey() function.

Unit Testing Question: I have a class which implements an interface, and I want to unit test it. I am testing the class, so my test code references the class. However, in my class, it passes itself as an interface reference to another interface, and when this happens, my test class cannot be Freed and breaks. The code below shows my problem (I use DUNITX). Main has a field ISub, which knows about IMain. When IMain is created, it passes itself as a reference to ISub (TMain -> IMain cast) when I call FMain.Free; it breaks with an "invalid pointer operation" as it has been used as an interface. test code: type Isub = interface end; IMain = interface end; TSub = class( TInterfacedObject, Isub ) FMain: IMain; constructor Create( const AOwner: IMain); end; TMain = class( TInterfacedObject, IMain ) FSub: Isub; constructor Create; destructor Destroy; override; end; [TestFixture] TUT_TEST = class private FMain : TMain; public ...

I have an interesting problem with a VirtualTreeView component compiled in RELEASE mode with Delphi 10.1 Berlin - it takes over 28 seconds to fill in about 40,000 rows (with VST.AddChild (nil), yes I know, not the fastest way to do it). Now, after compiling the exact same project with Delphi XE7 the executable fills the rows of the VST so fast it's basically an instant effect.  The code is exactly the same, both times pulled form the SCM. I reduced the problematic loop down to a FOR loop in Delphi 10.1 only doing an .AddChild and nothing else (no data assignment etc), and that alone takes almost all of the 28 seconds itself. Funny enough a similar loop for a another VST works just fine in 10.1 just like it does in XE7. I have no clue what the problem is... Has anyone else seen this? Looks to me like I'll have to keep compiling my release version with XE7...

Hello, Can someone check the page "My registered products" and/or "My registered user downloads"? I have an active subscription but in my account missing the information about "Delphi 10.1 Berlin". Also - can't download the installer. Is this an update in the site or it is only for me? (Issue/bug and so on?)

Is anyone using Spring4D on Berlin yet? There's no official support, though I know some work has been done in that direction. All I know is that it's not supported (yet) and there were some breaking changes, and I haven't had time to investigate it myself beyond periodically checking the repository for mentions of Berlin in a public branch.

Any thoughts on this? A new format for handling numbers, different to IEEE floating point. The headline seems hyperbole to me, and I haven't finished reading the article yet, but so far I can't see support for the claim. Some things seem an odd approach to me too (a bit for exact / inexact - great, but what do you do with that knowledge?) However, I am by no means an expert in this area, and if it's published by the ACM better minds than mine must have examined it. http://ubiquity.acm.org/article.cfm?id=2913029 http://ubiquity.acm.org/article.cfm?id=2913029

Any hints on migrating my settings from Seattle to Berlin? The migration tool does not offer Berlin to import into. I rebooted thinking it might catch on but no-go.

When you write tests, all are green all are fine Then you smoke test, and it fails A mood between frustration(cause you have to write more tests) and satisfaction (cause you found something you broke(!) while writing tests or forgot to add to them and can add it to the tests for future stability).

Why is a TDataSource needed when setting up master/detail relationships, say with a TFDQuery or TSQLQuery? Why can't the detail dataset link directly to the source dataset? edit: The reason I'm asking is that DisableControls ruins the master/detail relationship, a rather serious side effect in my view.

Don't know if this has been posted, but Eldos released preview packages of their new version 15 of Secure Blackbox - besides Delphi 10.1 support they now have OAuth2 client and server components which I very much appreciate. https://www.eldos.com/sbb/download-prerelease.php https://www.eldos.com/sbb/download-prerelease.php

EurekaLog vs MadExcept Hello My EurekaLog subscription has just expired. And before I decide to renew it or not, I'd like to check what other options I have. I know that there is similar product called MadExcept, but I can't tell anything about it. Some concerns arised because EurekaLog bussines model has changed. They expect me to pay 1 year subscription fee. Nothing fancy here, Embarcadero works like this, DevExpress works like this. and there I know what I pay for (I guess), but when it comes to EurekaLog and looking at couple years history, it looks like subscription covers only bug fixing and compability with current Delphi version. One would say why should I expect more. Then I would answer: sure, this is something but not for half price of the new licence. Would you, ladies and gentelmen ;-), share your opinions on both product, maybe some comparison, you experience (bad and good), if you don't mind... Thanks Marcin

My SelectiveDebugging plug-in now supports Delphi 10.1 Berlin. The updated download can be found at the end of the corresponding blog post: http://www.uweraabe.de/Blog/2015/05/08/selective-debugging/   http://www.uweraabe.de/Blog/2015/05/08/selective-debugging

Active Directory authentication using Delphi I am using TLDAPSend for active directory authentication and using following code : var     fldap:TLDAPSend;     fad_domain,userName,password:string; begin    fldap := TLDAPSend.Create;   fldap.TargetHost := fad_domain;   fldap.UserName := ausername+'@'+fad_domain;   fldap.Password := apassword;  if fldap.Login then     if fldap.Bind then       ShowMessage('Logged in successfully')     else       ShowMessage('Error in Bind')   else     ShowMessage('Error in Login'); end; This code is giving unpredictable results. sometimes its authenticate user to AD and sometime fails. Thanks in advance.

:)... My precious... ! This is a joke about the bug with the missing technology (ActiveX) if you use the newest installer. Maybe this is not bug - I don't know... but... just use the ISO file. This is my recommendation.

Berlin: But are the Konopka Signature Controls ready?

Hi all just interested if Delphi Berlin has added any more components that can be set to be native to platform for OSX..i.e the controltype setting i.e is worth upgrading (and the hassle with 3rd party components needing to be updated (and sometimes licenses renewed) for OSX..i.e has there been enough improvements for OSX (I am really waiting for linux support like there is for OSX ) thanks :)

Here's a rule of thumb to which I hope others can relate: The smaller the bug, the harder it is to find... but the easier it's likely to be to fix once you've actually found it! I've spent over a MONTH (albeit with other assignments coming my way and being completed very rapidly during this time) trying to track down an output issue in my employer's vast mess masquerading as a "codebase". I finally found the blighter today... and the solution consists of wrapping the parameter holding the string data with a call to Trim(). Unbelievable investment of time on my part for such a small solution, but that's life, right?

I just updated some pages on the Delphi wiki for Delphi 10.1: http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/Delphiversions.inc http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/Borland_Compiler_Conditional_Defines http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/CompilerVersion_Constant somebody else already added it to the release dates list: http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/Borland_Compiler_Release_Dates http://delphi.wikia.com

PostgresDAC v3.1.2 with support for RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin (both Delphi and C++ Builder), Lazarus 1.6 and FreePascal 3.x is available immediately! #postgresql https://pgolub.wordpress.com/2016/04/21/postgresdac-meets-rad-studio-10-1-berlin/ https://pgolub.wordpress.com/2016/04/21/postgresdac-meets-rad-studio-10-1-berlin/

Does anyone have an issue with getting the Content property of a TWebrequest in an ISAPI dll (used in an ActionHandler on a TDSRESTWebDispatcher) ? This works with D10, in D10.1 the property is always empty.

If anyone installs Berlin in a Parallels VM on OSX, I'd be interested to know if you run into this issue:  https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-14241 Seems one of the Parallels tools may cause the GetIt installer to hang. I did not observe this during the beta on Windows 10 in Parallels, just on my real VM (of course) which is Win7, yesterday and today. I strongly suspect it's a Parallels bug, not an Embarcadero one. If you run into it, I killed the prl_cc.exe process and after the installer promptly crashed, re-ran Berlin. This time it completed fine. https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-14241

Hello, Now it is available the new version Delphi Berlin. It can be installed on the same PC with Delphi Seattle? Someone has already done this test? regards Antonello

Anyone that installed D10.1 had the new installation dialogs that Embarcadero shows here: http://community.embarcadero.com/blogs/entry/great-installation-experience-with-new-rad-studio-10-1-berlin ? My install shows only the old dialogs. I'm using the .iso to install. Thanks!

TMS jumps into the plug-in sector, and add a set of FREE plugins. For me, the most interesting ones are - ZIP and upload projects - copy source code with syntax highlighting to the clipboard http://www.tmssoftware.com/site/blog.asp?post=336 http://www.tmssoftware.com/site/blog.asp?post=336

I had expected Embarcadero would have updated the documentation to reflect the version information for 10.1 Berlin on here: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Berlin/en/Compiler_Versions However, this does not show the new version info, so here it is for the benefit of everyone: Ver Condition: VER310 Product Version: 24 Package Version: 240 IDE Version: 18.0 (I had expected 17.1, but never mind) Compiler Version: 31 http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Berlin/en/Compiler_Versions

Is there some list of devices that are usable with new FireUI App Preview? Nexus 7 isn't apparently supported by needed application. This is big surprise for me.

Anyone who has the latest Delphi Berlin care to provide a download for a compiled EXE for the FireMonkey desktop features? I want to know how a running FMX windows program feels and thus can justify if the latest Delphi is worth for me. Thanks in advance.

I just want to leave a big "Thank you!" here to all 3rd party developers of components, libraries, tools and add-ons who released updated versions for Delphi 10.1 Berlin so soon within 24 hours after the official release of the new version. I really appreciate all the effort put into enabling us to use the newest Delphi release as soon as possible. Edit: It was a little bit stupid to limit this to the first 24 hours. This post actually applies to all developers who put all efforts into enabling an early upgrade to the newest Delphi version.

Most standard Windows keyboard shortcuts work as expected in the IDE, but CTRL-O is completely broken and has been for years, producing bizarre effects instead of opening an Open File dialog box.  Is the team ever going to fix this?

OK, so there is a new floating form designer in Delphi 10.1 Berlin, because everybody loved that in Delphi Surprise: In Delphi 7 F12 toggled between the form and the editor, just as it does now when using the embedded form designer. Only the floating one stays in front of the editor. What was the advantage again? Oh, yes, you can close the designer window, so it goes away, but F12 does not close it. (Hm, maybe an opportunity for GExperts. ;-) )

Both Parnassus Bookmarks and Parnassus Navigator will have a release for Berlin very soon; I'd hoped today but it looks more like tomorrow. Soon, anyway. Meanwhile, if you haven't got them installed on Seattle or below, download them both here:  https://parnassus.co/delphi-tools/ Bookmarks replaces the IDE's bookmark functionality with something much easier to use: a single shortcut key to add / remove a bookmark; never overwrite a bookmark; a dockable window listing all bookmarks with contextual information (it's in the TFoo type clause in the interface section) and a syntax-highlighted code preview, and caret (stack) bookmarks. It's very customizable, and of course the IDE default shortcuts still work too so you don't need to change your workflow to get its advantages. And it's free! Navigator is code navigation done right: a shortcut, and all useful parts of your unit are shown (uses clause, types, methods, classes, properties, constants, variables, every...

Anyone knows if packages from D10.0 need to be recompiled to work in D10.1? If so, it's a lot of work every time a new update is released.

How do I ask good questions? Have you explained your problem in detail to the nearest teddy bear? Was that explanation coherent, or was it hard to make him understand? If you can’t formulate your problem - you can’t formulate a question, so the first step is for you to properly identify your problem for yourself. After that, you are ready to ask us your questions. Give a context - What is obvious to you, may not be obvious to us. We don’t know the whole situation. When we start thinking about your problem, it helps us to understand in what context the question is asked. What platforms, compilers, versions, technologies or techniques are in use? Give exact details - We need the specifics of the symptoms as they happen. We need the actual error messages and not the approximate versions you think you remember. Be prepared to answer questions about your question and try to give good answers to these questions - even if they seem irrelevant to you. Our questions are a result of us trying to...

10.1 Berlin tip: FMX TGrid-derived controls now need to use the new Fmx.Grid.Style unit, and they must be registered / unregistered at unit initialization / finalization (see Fmx.Grid.Style unit last lines), like the other grids

Anybody get an email to download Rad Studio 10.1 Berlin?

Anyone tried FireUI Live Preview in Delphi 10.1 Berlin? Tried on my Mac (OSX 10.11) with no success. It looks like it incorrectly detects the Windows VM IP address and there is no way to manually set the correct IP. Tried using the Advanced button to manually set the IP but it doesn't seem to work.  Debugging via PAServer works but Live Preview doesn't. Was really looking forward to test it out but it looks it is still buggy. Anyone else experiencing this?

How do I get the new version of Delphi, I'm on subscription but Emb don't ever seem to send me anything... Does everyone else get notified of new versions?

What's new in Rad studio 10.1 Berlin http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Berlin/en/What%27s_New

From the 10.1 What's New, To enforce visibility semantics, class and record helpers cannot access private members of the classes or records that they extend. That could cause a few headaches....... Not much else in the What's New that really caught my eye. Let's see how the better generics compilation/link performance really is. TBufferedFileStream is a useful addition, but I'll carry using my own version. Nothing really of note for VCL developers. Whilst I'll continue on update subscription, I will stick to XE7 for production.

Installing RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin right now.
